NIMBioS Partners

Ways We Partner

NIMBioS has united the forces of diverse academic, government, and corporate communities to transform the landscape of scientific research and education in the United States and the world. Since its inception in 2008, NIMBioS has engaged more than 7,000 participants from more than 50 countries in scientific collaborative activities. Workshops, tutorials, postdoctoral fellowships, education and training events, support for new labs and new research paths are just some of the ways we have partnered to produce results. What scientific endeavor would you like to partner with NIMBioS to support?

If you are a faculty member at UT, we invite you to partner with NIMBioS on your research and education efforts.
